※ 引述《tim2502 (踢馬)》之銘言:
: LONDON, England - Former world No. 8 Alicia Molik is preparing to launch a
: comeback after almost a year in retirement. The 28-year-old Australian hopes
: to compete at a $25,000 ITF Women's Circuit event at Darwin in Australia's
: Northern Territory next month, but reportedly will first try doubles at Sony
: Ericsson WTA Tour events on the North American hardcourt swing already
: underway.
: ''She's hoping to [play in Darwin], that's the plan,'' her agent, Alice
: Estcourt of Octagon, told The Australian newspaper. ''But she's just playing
: it by ear, seeing how she goes, how she's feeling and will then go from
: there.''
: Molik's career was sabotaged in its prime by an inner ear infection that
: affected her balance and vision and kept her out of action for the best part
: of a year. Cruelly, things started to unravel within weeks of her career
: reaching new highs, highlighted by a first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the
: 2005 Australian Open, which propelled the powerful right-hander, then 24,
: into the Top 10.
: By that point Adelaide-born Molik had grown into the most successful
: Australian-born player in some time. Armed with a rare one-handed backhand
: and one of the most explosive serves in women's tennis, she won the first of
: five Tour singles titles at Hobart in 2003. But 2004 was her standout year.
: Among her three Tour titles was victory at Zürich, where she defeated Maria
: Sharapova in the final; she also defeated Anastasia Myskina to win the bronze
: medal at the Athens Olympic Games. By the end of the season she scored five
: Top 10 wins and had cracked the Top 20 herself.
: Molik's start to 2005 was even more promising. She won the title at Sydney,
: defeating Samantha Stosur in the first all-Australian Tour final since 1992,
: before defeating Venus Williams to reach the last eight in Melbourne, where
: she duly pushed Lindsay Davenport to 9-7 in the third set. Afterwards Molik
: rose from No.12 to No.10, and would spend a total of 22 weeks inside the
: elite, including 12 non-consecutive weeks at No.8. She took Justine Henin to
: three sets at Miami but after a second round loss at Amelia Island pulled out
: of the rest of the clay court season, and a couple of aborted attempts to
: return eventually announced an extended break to recover.
: 前世界排名前十的Molik 在宣布退休後將近一年後
: 決定在下個月澳洲的ITF 25k賽事復出
: 先試試水溫 看能走多遠
